Adam in first warm up group….Donovan in 2nd…. Chaos is a good word

-2? Was the first flip (don't know what else to call it), not allowed?

Was expecting only a single point deduction otherwise.

it was the backflip

The backflip is a 2 point deduction.

I think it’s a time violation

 

[Arigato]

Fan-fricking-tastic, Adam!

 

[TT_Fin]

Medals are not given yet. Others must skate too.

 

[anonymoose_au]

Now here's a backflip

This is like my first Winter Olympic memory! I was so amazed, like then I booed at the TV when she got a deduction.

Eeeee! Donovan!!!

 

[CellarDweller]

It is probably going to be a while before anyone else goes into first place overall

ya think?

 

[snowflake]

Alrighttttt who's setting up Adam's kill count?

Hmmm, I think I'll be sleeping before anyone beats him...

 

[adhara]

sad boi number one <3

 

[triplelutzzzzz]

Most insane redemption skate ever. I love how Adam was like "screw it" and did the backflip. He's got so much personality and so much fight in him. What a good end to a season. He might not be placed as high as he thought, but he fought like hell!!

 

[Warwick360]

Imagine, if the top skaters don't perform how they should and Adam ends up still missing the podium because of the two deduction.

Having said that, please no jinxing by that statement. Want my last group clean today.

Keegan is apparently in the house with his Giant Flag! We want footage!

Mikhail S! Going old school with Carmina Burina here.

 

[Weetos]

Ooo Donovan has SPARKLES

 

[apgold]

Donovan has the most sparkly costume in this group. That is all.

 

[Mozartistique]

that free skate score: 206.90

His PB is 207.17, he would have set a new PB by 1 and a half point without the deduction...
Will ISU change the rules for Backflips

Eeeee! Donovan!!!

I remember this too, Nagano 1998!

 

[MarkinBerkeley]

It is probably going to be a while before anyone else goes into first place overall

That's still a potential bronze medal if one of the top 3 messes up.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

By the way, one of the tech specialists for the men here is the only person to land a legal backflip in competition - Terry Kubicka.
Full circle moment with Adam right there.

 

[cailuj365]

OK, stop the competition! That was phenomenal by Adam. We can all go home. I actually have to miss the end of this competition, but that technical score is going to be very hard to beat. Really a pity about the short program, but glad he could end his season on such a good note. Could be enough for top 5 for sure, possibly even medal (?!) if there's chaos at the top.
